Springer series Lecture Notes in Computer Science.
Instructions for authors can be found at Springer web site (www.springer.com/lncs).

Submission guidelines:

Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract or full paper of at most 12 pages
in Springer's LNCS style (please add page numbers) describing original unpublished research.
Simultaneous submission to other conferences with published proceedings is not permitted.
The title page of the submission should include the authors' full names, addresses, e-mail addresses,
and an abstract summarizing the results in roughly 100-200 words; the remainder of the submission
should contain a description of the main results and an explanation of their importance.
The submission must include a full proof of the results, part of which can be placed in the appendix,
whose length is not constrained.
Papers should be submitted electronically via the EasyChair submission system at:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=waoa2016

The WAOA proceedings will be published in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series by Springer-Verlag.
Each accepted paper will be allotted 12 pages in the proceedings.

SIROCCO 2016
23rd International Colloquium on Structural Information and
Communication Complexity

http://sirocco2016.hiit.fi/


CALL FOR PAPERS


DATES

- Submission deadline: 6 May 2016 (Friday), at 23:59, anywhere on earth

- Notification of acceptance: 9 June 2016 (Thursday)

- Conference: 19-21 July 2016 (Tuesday-Thursday)


THEME

SIROCCO is devoted to the study of the interplay between communication
and knowledge in multi-processor systems from both the qualitative and
quantitative viewpoints. Special emphasis is given to innovative
approaches and fundamental understanding, in addition to efforts to
optimize current designs.

SIROCCO has a tradition of interesting and productive scientific
meetings in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, attracting leading
researchers in a variety of fields in which communication and knowledge
play a significant role.


SCOPE

Original papers are solicited from all areas of study of local
structural knowledge and global communication and computational
complexities. Among the typical areas are distributed computing,
communication networks, game theory, parallel computing, social
networks, mobile computing (including autonomous robots), peer to peer
systems, and communication complexity. Keeping with the tradition of
SIROCCO, new areas are always welcome.


PAPER SUBMISSION

Papers are to be submitted electronically through EasyChair at

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sirocco2016

Authors are invited to submit their work in one of the three acceptable
formats: novel research contributions, position papers, and surveys.
Original research papers must contain results that have not previously
appeared and have not been concurrently submitted to a journal or
conference with published proceedings. In all cases, any partial overlap
with any published or concurrently submitted paper must be clearly
indicated.

All submissions must be in English, in PDF format. You can use either of
the following layouts for your submissions:

- Cover page + 10 pages + references, letter or A4 paper, single column,
at least 11-point font, at least 1-inch margins, reasonable line spacing.

- 12 pages + references, LIPIcs or LNCS style.

Additional details may be included in an appendix, to be read at the
programme committee's discretion.


PROCEEDINGS

The post-proceedings of SIROCCO 2016 will be published by Springer in
the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series (LNCS) after the conference.

We will also prepare an informal pre-proceedings volume with
author-prepared versions of the papers. The pre-proceedings will be
freely available online on the conference web page before the conference.


SPECIAL ISSUE

Selected papers from SIROCCO 2016 will be invited to a special issue of
the Theoretical Computer Science journal.


BEST PAPER AWARD

The authors of the best paper will be awarded a prize of 1000 EUR (in
